    6mm rem load data

    Re: 6mm rem load data I have had excellent results with H4831 and Seirra 100gr Gamekings for hunting loads in two rifles (Rem M788 & Ruger #1). Both coming in at 3100 fps and 1/2 moa 5 shot groups. I would think that you would have equally good results with the heavier bullets.

    6.5x55 Hunting bullets and loads

    Re: 6.5x55 Hunting bullets and loads I presume you are looking for a deer/antelope load, go with the 120gr Nosler Ballistic Tip. It would be my choice if limiting range to 300 yds.

    Hunting & Fishing Prarie dog hunting? anyone know a place?

    Re: Prarie dog hunting? anyone know a place? Major PD towns in wyoming too. no license required there. One has to see a 1 or 3 mile long town to believe it - i have no words to adequately discribe it. last year my son and I went thru 1,500 rds of 223 for 3 days of shooting.

    Howa .260 Build from Tim Click Custom Rifles

    Re: Howa .260 Build from Tim Click Custom Rifles Nice build, I have a Vanguard in 257 WBY that will not shoot straight. I am in the process of collecting the pieces to have it re-barreled to 7mm Rem Mag. Good to know the actions are worth building on.
